[00:00:27] All points broadcast to informed citizens and members of the Society.
[00:00:32] Commentary will be appended where necessary.
[00:00:35] Do not be alarmed.
[00:00:37] Truth, faith, and reason are the tools of light.
[00:00:41] Ignorance and superstition are the agents of darkness.

[00:00:54] The Hole
[00:00:56] Class, Safe
[00:00:58] Special Containment Procedures
[00:01:01] SCP-1437 is to be contained behind a perimeter of 2-meter-tall electrical fencing,
[00:01:09] which is to be patrolled by groups of three security officers at all times.
[00:01:13] Any trespassers attempting to access SCP-1437 are to be brought into custody, interrogated,
[00:01:22] and found to be ignorant of SCP-1437's nature, dosed with Class A amnestic, and released.
[00:01:29] Any items or organisms which emerge from SCP-1437 are to be immediately tested for hazards.
[00:01:38] If safe, examine further.
[00:01:40] Experimentation involving 1437 is strictly forbidden.
[00:01:46] SCP-1437 is an, apparently, endless hole measuring 3 meters by 3 meters located in the desert.
[00:01:56] Attempts to dig into SCP-1437 from the side result in the diggers encountering solid rock where logic would dictate that SCP-1437 would be.
[00:02:07] SCP-1437 is thus only accessible from its entrance above ground.
[00:02:14] SCP-1437 appears to be an access point to an unknown number of parallel universes.
[00:02:21] Objects have been known to periodically emerge from SCP-1437 at great speeds, including
[00:02:29] A Map of North America, written in Spanish.
[00:02:33] According to the said map, the government of North America is
[00:02:36] La República Popular de Aguas Nuevas, or The People's Republic of New Waters.
[00:02:43] And, uh, Society Annotation 11437 occurs to me that this may be related to LO-259.
[00:02:51] Refer to the archives at Sanctum Zed as a potential point of confluence.
[00:02:56] Continuing.
[00:02:57] A photograph of a significantly altered New York City skyline with buildings constructed of coral.
[00:03:05] Large biological organism spotted flying in the distance.
[00:03:10] For Mithra's sake.
[00:03:13] All organisms are, by definition, biological.
[00:03:17] Chum.
[00:03:19] And, finally, several discs made from solid gold.
[00:03:24] Accompanying the discs was a sheet of paper, reading,
[00:03:27] Please send rain.
[00:03:30] During a period lasting from 2000 to 2000, numerous individuals, most of whom wore D-class uniforms,
[00:03:40] emerged from SCP-1437.
[00:03:42] All of them were dead on arrival.
[00:03:45] All emerging individuals carried documents which appear to be their respective universes' documentation
[00:03:50] on SCP-1437.
[00:03:52] It is currently believed that these D-class personnel were sent as a gesture of desired cooperation.
[00:04:00] How very like the Foundation to use people regarded as little more than expendable slaves
[00:04:05] for such an excursion.
[00:04:09] Nevertheless, differences between these parallel realities might help us come to grips with
[00:04:14] the needs with which to protect ours with more capability.
[00:04:18] And, as such, I laud the attempt at coordination, even if I deeply despise the method for doing so.
[00:04:26] The Foundation file appends with the following variations,
[00:04:30] labelled 1437-1, 1437-2, 1437-3, and 1437-4.
[00:04:40] SMs 139 and 487 assist the Society tonight in presenting these as follows.
[00:04:48] Variation 1437-1.
[00:04:52] Corps of individual carrying documentation appear to be an adequate physical condition.
[00:04:57] Individual was wearing a pressure suit with an attached oxygen supply.
[00:05:02] SCP-1437.
[00:05:05] Safety rating, safe for public.
[00:05:08] Safety procedures.
[00:05:11] Unauthorized citizens are to be kept at a safe distance from SCP-1437 at all times.
[00:05:18] Any unauthorized tours of the area are to be accompanied by two security officers for their own protection.
[00:05:25] Taking of photographs is to be permitted.
[00:05:28] Any citizens attempting to go past safety fencing are to be arrested and handed over to local law enforcement.
[00:05:35] So, the Foundation is hosting tourists.
[00:05:39] Now it's only a matter of time before they begin to offer timeshares.
[00:05:44] Description.
[00:05:45] SCP-1437 is an apparently endless hole, measuring 10 meters by 10 meters, located in the town of Promise.
[00:05:55] Attempts to dig into SCP-1437 from the side result in the diggers encountering solid rock where logic would dictate SCP-1437 would be.
[00:06:07] SCP-1437 is thus only accessible from its entrance above ground.
[00:06:13] SCP-1437 appears to be an access point to an as of yet unknown number of parallel universes.
[00:06:21] Objects have been known to periodically emerge from SCP-1437 at great speeds, including
[00:06:29] One small pyramid composed of concrete.
[00:06:33] First known object emergence.
[00:06:36] Large quantities of dirt and rocks.
[00:06:38] Believed to be an attempt by a parallel safety team to fill in their corresponding SCP-1437.
[00:06:45] A landscape painting, believed to be of a location in Scotland.
[00:06:50] According to the painting,
[00:06:52] In the originating reality, the sun is blue and the sky yellow.
[00:06:57] Several discs made from solid gold.
[00:07:00] Accompanying the discs was a sheet of paper reading,
[00:07:03] Please Stop Plague.
[00:07:06] A photograph of several scientists.
[00:07:09] All scientists pictured have unusually long fingers,
[00:07:12] Estimated to be nearly 25 centimeters long.
[00:07:16] A sheet of paper reading,
[00:07:19] Thank you, please send more gifts.
[00:07:25] During a period lasting from 2009 to 2012,
[00:07:29] Numerous individuals, most of whom wore bright orange jumpsuits,
[00:07:33] Emerged from SCP-1437,
[00:07:36] All of whom were dead on arrival.
[00:07:38] All emerging individuals carried documents
[00:07:41] Which appeared to be their respective universe's documentation on SCP-1437.
[00:07:46] It is currently believed that these individuals
[00:07:49] And the documentation they carried
[00:07:51] Were sent as a gesture of desired cooperation.
[00:07:55] On the 15th of August 2012,
[00:07:57] A volunteer from the Foundation, Marco Perton,
[00:08:01] Entered SCP-1437 wearing safety gear,
[00:08:04] Taking with him a copy of this document.
[00:08:07] And so we see that in this parallel universe,
[00:08:12] The skies are yellow,
[00:08:14] Pyramids are collectible,
[00:08:16] And D-class personnel do not exist.
[00:08:19] Fascinating.
[00:08:21] Number 487, if you're prepared,
[00:08:23] The floor, as they say, is all yours.
[00:08:26] Variation 1437 slash 2.
[00:08:29] Individual carrying documentation was in adequate physical condition.
[00:08:35] The phrase, property of SCP Corporation,
[00:08:39] Was branded on the individual's left arm.
[00:08:43] SCP-1437,
[00:08:46] Threat level,
[00:08:48] Little.
[00:08:49] Special containment procedures,
[00:08:51] 1437 is to be contained behind a perimeter of 2 meter tall electrical fencing,
[00:08:58] Which is to be patrolled by groups of three security officers at all times.
[00:09:03] Any trespassers attempting to access SCP-1437,
[00:09:09] Are to be charged with a crime of industrial espionage.
[00:09:13] Any items or organisms which emerge from SCP-1437,
[00:09:18] Are to be immediately tested for hazards,
[00:09:21] And if found safe, examined further.
[00:09:23] After examination,
[00:09:25] Suitable items are to be auctioned off to interested collectors.
[00:09:30] Description.
[00:09:31] SCP-1437 is an apparently endless hole,
[00:09:35] Measuring 1 meter by 1 meter,
[00:09:38] Located in the outback.
[00:09:40] Attempts to dig into SCP-1437 from the side,
[00:09:44] Result in the diggers encountering solid rock,
[00:09:48] Where logic would dictate SCP-1437 would be.
[00:09:52] SCP-1437 is thus only accessible from its entrance above ground.
[00:09:59] SCP-1437 appears to be an access point,
[00:10:03] To an as of yet unknown number of parallel universes.
[00:10:08] Objects have been known to periodically emerge,
[00:10:10] From SCP-1437 at great speeds,
[00:10:14] Including,
[00:10:17] A statue of what is believed to be a reptilian entity,
[00:10:22] Sporting numerous eyes and tails,
[00:10:24] First known object emergence,
[00:10:27] Large quantities of dirt and rocks,
[00:10:30] Believed to be an attempt by a parallel containment team,
[00:10:33] To fill in their corresponding SCP-1437,
[00:10:37] A glass bottle of water,
[00:10:40] A human femur,
[00:10:41] Covered in saliva,
[00:10:43] A cube composed of several smaller cubes,
[00:10:47] All of which are different colors,
[00:10:49] Purpose unknown,
[00:10:51] A soccer ball,
[00:10:52] Ball only has five sides,
[00:10:57] Okay,
[00:10:59] During a period lasting from December 2012 to April 2013,
[00:11:03] Numerous individuals,
[00:11:06] Most of which wore D-class uniforms,
[00:11:09] Emerged from SCP-1437.
[00:11:13] All of these individuals were dead on arrival.
[00:11:17] An addendum to this text reads,
[00:11:19] The fact that it is apparently impossible,
[00:11:23] To travel through SCP-1437 and survive,
[00:11:28] Has prevented the corporation from utilizing SCP-1437,
[00:11:34] For commercial purposes,
[00:11:37] What the?
[00:11:39] I'm not sure to,
[00:11:41] Um,
[00:11:42] I,
[00:11:43] Your guess is as good as mine.
[00:11:45] Twenty-one such corpses have emerged to date.
[00:11:52] All emerging individuals carry documents,
[00:11:55] Which appear to be their respective universe's documentation,
[00:11:59] On SCP-1437.
[00:12:02] It is currently believed that these D-class personnel
[00:12:05] Were sent as a gesture of desired cooperation.
[00:12:09] Several D-class personnel have been sent through SCP-1437,
[00:12:14] Carrying copies of this document.
[00:12:16] And a third variation,
[00:12:18] Presented here again,
[00:12:20] By researcher SM-139.
[00:12:23] Before the doctor begins,
[00:12:25] I advise the listener to observe
[00:12:27] That the following variation contains
[00:12:30] Descriptives of a somewhat shocking nature.
[00:12:33] If you are easily triggered by violence,
[00:12:35] I advise leaving the room for a brief period of time.
[00:12:38] If you are a member of the society,
[00:12:40] Of course,
[00:12:40] I urge you to remain.
[00:12:42] This sort of thing is,
[00:12:43] Well,
[00:12:45] It's what we must contend with in our line of work.
[00:12:49] Variation of 1437-3.
[00:12:53] SCP-1437.
[00:12:56] Individual carrying documentation was wrapped in bandages,
[00:12:59] And appeared to have been blinded in the recent past.
[00:13:02] Lacerations were present on the arms and legs,
[00:13:05] And the individual's tongue had been cut out.
[00:13:08] Heathen level,
[00:13:10] Unforgivable.
[00:13:11] Holding measures,
[00:13:12] High priest redacted.
[00:13:14] It's to bless the holding site of SCP-1437 every two years,
[00:13:19] And blood sacrifices are to be dropped into 1437 after each blessing.
[00:13:25] Blood sacrifices are to be dropped with these scrolls as a warning to any demons to stay away.
[00:13:32] The spirits are to be consulted after these sacrifices,
[00:13:35] And suggested changes to holding measures are to be carried out immediately.
[00:13:41] SCP-1437 is an apparently endless hole,
[00:13:45] Measuring at 3 metres by 3 metres,
[00:13:48] Located in the redacted desert.
[00:13:51] Attempts to dig into SCP-1437 from the side,
[00:13:55] Result in the diggers encountering a solid rock,
[00:13:58] Where logic would dictate SCP-1437 would be.
[00:14:03] SCP-1437 is thus only accessible from its entrance above ground.
[00:14:10] SCP-1437 appears to be a portal to the underworld.
[00:14:15] Objects have been known to periodically emerge from SCP-1437 at great speeds,
[00:14:21] Including several discs made from solid gold.
[00:14:26] Accompanying the disc was a sheet of paper reading,
[00:14:29] Please kill foes.
[00:14:32] Large quantities of dirt and rocks.
[00:14:35] Believed to be an attempt by demons to harm the high priest,
[00:14:39] Redacted,
[00:14:40] Redacted,
[00:14:41] Who was present at the holding site at the time.
[00:14:43] The broken remains of a human arm,
[00:14:46] Covered in saliva.
[00:14:48] A photograph of a metal bird flying away from a city.
[00:14:52] What appears to be a large mushroom is visible behind the bird,
[00:14:57] Believed to be attempted by demons at mocking us.
[00:15:00] A human eye,
[00:15:02] Which moved when touched,
[00:15:04] Believed to be a lesser demon,
[00:15:06] Was burnt immediately.
[00:15:08] During a period lasting from a 21st century date,
[00:15:11] Redacted,
[00:15:13] To 21st century date,
[00:15:15] Redacted,
[00:15:16] Dead demons wearing the skins of men emerged from the pit.
[00:15:20] They were thrown back in immediately,
[00:15:23] And the site was re-blessed by high priest,
[00:15:26] Redacted.
[00:15:27] And finally,
[00:15:29] Variation 1437-4.
[00:15:35] Variation 1437-4.
[00:15:39] Society advisory,
[00:15:41] This,
[00:15:42] The following descriptives may also be very triggering to some of you,
[00:15:46] So,
[00:15:47] We again advise caution.
[00:15:52] Individual carrying documentation was a heavily emaciated,
[00:15:56] Who appeared to have been lobotomized in the recent past.
[00:16:03] Item number SCP-1437,
[00:16:06] Object class,
[00:16:07] Safe.
[00:16:09] Special containment procedures,
[00:16:11] 1437 is to be contained behind a perimeter of two meter tall electrical fencing,
[00:16:16] Which is to be patrolled by groups of three security officers at all times.
[00:16:21] Any trespassers attempting to access SCP-1437,
[00:16:26] Are to be delivered to our masters above,
[00:16:28] For enhanced interrogation.
[00:16:31] Any items or organisms,
[00:16:33] Which emerge from SCP-1437,
[00:16:36] Are to be immediately tested for hazards,
[00:16:39] And if found safe,
[00:16:40] Examined further.
[00:16:42] Any useful technology,
[00:16:43] Which emerges from SCP-1437,
[00:16:46] Is to be delivered to our masters above,
[00:16:49] Immediately.
[00:16:52] 1437 is an apparently endless hole,
[00:16:55] Measuring four meters by four meters,
[00:16:57] Located in zone 29,
[00:16:59] Of the Brazilian sector.
[00:17:01] Attempts to dig into SCP-1437,
[00:17:03] From the side,
[00:17:04] Result in the diggers encountering solid rock,
[00:17:07] Where logic would dictate,
[00:17:08] That SCP-1437 would be.
[00:17:11] SCP-1437 is thus,
[00:17:13] Only accessible from its entrance above ground.
[00:17:19] A note to the society,
[00:17:21] Please recall that there is no such thing,
[00:17:24] As an endless hole.
[00:17:27] SCP-1437 appears to be an access point,
[00:17:31] To an as of yet unknown number,
[00:17:33] Of parallel universes.
[00:17:35] Objects believed to be gifts,
[00:17:36] Intended for our masters above,
[00:17:38] Have been known to periodically emerge,
[00:17:41] From SCP-1437 at great speeds,
[00:17:44] Including,
[00:17:45] One,
[00:17:46] Diamond,
[00:17:47] First known gift,
[00:17:49] Delivered to our masters above.
[00:17:51] Large quantities of dirt and rocks,
[00:17:54] Purpose unknown.
[00:17:57] Bark from the extinct,
[00:17:58] Quercus Buckleyi,
[00:18:01] Delivered to our masters above.
[00:18:04] Quercus Buckleyi,
[00:18:07] The Buckley,
[00:18:08] Or Texas Red Oak.
[00:18:14] On,
[00:18:15] Date redacted,
[00:18:16] A bottle of human intended wine,
[00:18:18] Emerged from SCP-1437,
[00:18:21] Recognizing an assassination attempt,
[00:18:23] Upon members of our masters above,
[00:18:25] The supervising servant,
[00:18:27] Ordered that an explosive device,
[00:18:28] Be delivered down SCP-1437.
[00:18:32] Its orders were followed,
[00:18:33] And the threat appears to have been resolved.
[00:18:37] Appended commentary,
[00:18:38] From foundation leadership,
[00:18:40] Native to the linked parallel reality,
[00:18:42] Reads as follows,
[00:18:44] This is a reminder,
[00:18:46] Of why we must be vigilant,
[00:18:47] In our containment procedures.
[00:18:49] From now on,
[00:18:50] I don't want any of these gifts,
[00:18:52] Being taken out of containment.
[00:18:53] They are a clear and present danger,
[00:18:55] To our masters above.
[00:18:57] O-5-1.
[00:19:00] File concludes,
[00:19:03] So a dilemma arises.
[00:19:06] At one point,
[00:19:07] Is communication with an alternate reality,
[00:19:09] Appropriate,
[00:19:10] And at one point,
[00:19:11] Is it ethical?
[00:19:13] And how do we apply,
[00:19:14] Our present sense of right and wrong,
[00:19:16] To the question of intervention?
[00:19:19] As H.G. Wells once said to me,
[00:19:22] Reality is what you make it.
[00:19:25] Worth a thought,
[00:19:26] I think.
[00:19:28] I thank our society fellows tonight,
[00:19:30] For their assistance in broadcasting this bulletin.
[00:19:32] I think it's about time,
[00:19:34] I provided those drinks,
[00:19:35] I owed you.
[00:19:39] That concludes this information bulletin.
[00:19:42] Don't be afraid,
[00:19:43] And remember,
[00:19:45] We have seen what you have seen,
[00:19:47] We have heard what you have heard.
[00:19:50] Have faith.
[00:19:53] We know.
